Baby Mammoth Luna Park
From the album One Two Freak which you can buy here: Amidst heavy competition, Baby Mammoth is the Pork label s most prolific act, packing in five full LPs of blunted instrumental hiphop between their debut in late 1996 and the end of the decade. Like other Pork acts Fila Brazillia and Solid Doctor, the duo of Mark Blissenden and Andrew Burdall specialize in earthy breaks and ambient atmospheres, more slanted to the instrumental edge of acid jazz than other producerbased triphop acts. The pair first met Pork labelhead Dave Brennand and associate Steve Cobby (aka Fila Brazillia) at a club in Hull where both band and label are based. The relationship blossomed with the release of Baby Mammoth s debut album 10, 000 Years Beneath The Street, in 1996. Blissenden and Burdall then released two albums the following year (as well as an EP and single). Baby Mammoth settled down to a more languid release
